The Gypsy Goat Herder
|
|
| One woman, hundreds of goats, 365 days of the year equals innovation in the realm of environmental care. Lani Malmberg is an inspiration for eco-action, with her work focused on non-toxic land care in the form of herding goats to pastures that would otherwise use health and environmentally harmful pesticides. Drawing from her multiple degrees in weed science, biology, botany and environmental restoration, she came to this innovative alternative to pesticides in weed management, utilizing the natural behavior of goats. Goats clear the vegetation and recycle these weeds through their gut to offer nutrition for the soil. In this video, Lani candidly shares her work on Maui, and expresses the energy of earth compassion and innovation to inspire us all. Her main motivation? To be a model and set an example for others to follow. |

In the Wake of LA Fire Destruction, 3 Faiths Worship Together
The First United Methodist Church on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, CA is a landmark on the Rose Parade route to which people throng every New Year’s Day. Now, it is a safe space for two other religious groups: the Islamic Center of Southern California and the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center. It was already a satellite location where Islamic locals could stop in for hour-long services instead of making a 13-mile trek to the Islamic Center. Then, in January, “the Pasadena synagogue burned down in the Eaton fire leaving its Jewish congregation in need of a place to grieve and worship.” Pastor Rev. Amy Aitken said, “We are trying to cultivate an ‘island of grace’ in the midst of differences that we are told should divide us.” It takes a lot of coordination. Said Aitken, “I don’t know how to change things on the global macro level. But on this corner, I can try to create a kind of community and a house of worship that God would recognize.” { read more }
Be The Change
What would an “island of grace” look like in your community where people of different faiths or views could safely gather? Perhaps one already exists where you could visit and participate? |
